2.4 inches display is good with 320 x 240 resolution, but I have seen better resolution display in same size. You get two modes; Work and Personal. Customize each according to your needs (work apps work home screen and fun apps on home screen), and switch them whenever you want.

The optical trackpad is a nice feature indeed, but the surrounding ring makes it difficult to navigate easily. Keyboard is great, literally. It allows easy typing and fewer typos. This phone has got a pretty nice web browser that allows multiple windows, subscription to web feeds, keyword search and supports flash content.

Product’s Unique Selling Points:

• Sleek and attractive design
• Great keyboard
• Full range of wireless options
• Turn by turn navigation through Ovi Maps
• Nice messaging facilities

Limitations:

• Older UI
• Low resolution
• Trackpad’s surrounding ring makes navigation difficult

When asked about the impact of this strike on the company, the officials provided no response and negotiations got started between the union and company officials from Monday. The Nokia India Employees Progressive Union (NIEPU) has been working on the settlement of wages for quite a long time and according to Nokia that is going to get finalized soon.

Same kind of strike was seen in January this year, when the union went on strike for the reinstatement of 62 of their colleagues that were suspended for “serious acts of misconduct” and according to union officials “We expected all the suspended (employees) would be taken back. But they were not”.

So now the workers have again got together for their rights and if the company officials take no notice of this then it can prove to be dangerous for the company.

According to a research from IDG, almost 12.2 million mobile phones have been sold in Q1 and Nokia has seen its sales down to 9.1million which is really surprising. The Nokia’s sale decline is really strange as this company has always being the leading one in the industry and this year due to any reason it has came down from Samsung.

This was the story of Samsung and Nokia but after a closer look towards the sale of other companies you’ll come to know that most of them like Sony Ericson and LG re struggling to regain their high sale rate which was once the glory of those companies. Though a little downside is faced by some companies still we can’t say that the overall sales rate of mobile phones in the world is not falling in fact it is increasing almost 8% per year.

The mobile developing giant Nokia is now getting on towards more energy saving strategies and this time the company has really brought an excitingly innovative idea, according to the new plan cyclists will soon be able to charge up their mobiles on the go with a new bicycle mobile phone charger. The main target of the new Nokia’s plan is the people of developing countries who carry a limited access to the electricity.

While talking to Reuters about this new plan of the company, one of the spokesman Leo McKay said that “We are targeting the initial rollout in the developing markets, but we do, of course, see the potential outside of these countries”. In another statement from the company’s side it was said that “To begin charging, a cyclist needs to travel around six kilometers per hour (four miles per hour), and while charging times will vary depending on battery model, a 10-minute journey at 10 kilometers per hour (six miles per hour) produces around 28 minutes of talk time or 37 hours of standby time. The faster you ride, the more battery life you generate”.

Thus these new and exciting plans of Nokia will both workout for the ease of people of developing countries and with that the energy saving strategy will work for the goodness of energy resurces.

The trend of social networking is prevailing rapidly in the mobile industry and all the mobile makers are focusing on this highly advance feature. The N900 one of the most amazing new handset by Nokia is the very hot nowadays and earning a great name for the company, recently the company has brought a new excitement to this ultimately dashing N900 and this is the facility of Facebook Chat which was previously not available for this phone.

The highlights of the new 1.2 rollout are including the new Facebook chat facility and now the N900 owners will get this happiness of being always connected to their loved ones. Along with the Facebook Chat the Skype video calling has also brought available for the new phone and this will help you to call the friends over VOIP and thus the video calling facility will get more enhanced now.
Along with making the connections with friends stronger the new update of N900 will also allow the portrait browsing which means that now you don’t have to hold the phone in two hands while using the internet. Some of the other facilitations that Nokia has brought with the new

Nokia N900’s update are the enhanced email and calendar facility, the biggest ever update to the Ovi store and the previous issues with the access of Ovi store has been made more enhanced. So now the flagship of Nokia company ‘the N900 ‘will give you all the ease that you will desire.

The latest range of affordable mobile phones coming from the company’s platform is really fantastic and awesome. The phone which I am going to review in this article is the ‘Nokia 2720’ which is a very awesome folding model announced by the company.
